Demise - Full Discography

 
I was recently able to get my hands on three master DAT tapes of Demise.  After converting them, I spent some time doing some remasters, and given the source, I think these will be the best sounding Demise recordings out there.  The master for the very first demo only exists on a 2" reel, so that's the only one that is still converted from a standard cassette tape.  That being said, here's the full discography for Demise [1989 - 1994]
 
 Demise - Endless Torment
[demo 1989]
 
 
 Demise - Inevitable Exit
[demo 1990]
 
 
 Demise - Devious Deception 7"
[Listenable Records - 1992]


Unfortunately, I've yet to come across a physical copy of Sadistic Summoning, so I had to roll with the only picture I have.  If someone out there has a copy, please get in touch.

Resist - European Tour '92 video

I broke out this Resist - European Tour '92 video that I got at Locals Only around '94/'95, and ripped the VHS to digital for youtube.  Plenty of great footage from all over the map.

90 Proof - Demo 1990

In honor of Fig (Craig Pallay), who passed away on Monday, here's the 90 Proof demo tape from 1990.  Fig was a Portland punk rock legend that I would see around town quite often, and he played bass for 90 Proof.  Aside from this demo, a split 7" with Wreck Creation and a track on a GG Allin tribute compilation, I'm not sure if they released anything else.

Cruella - Power Metal [demo 1986]

Cruella was born out of the ashes of Xinr in the mid-80s, and they didn't waste much time chugging out some great power/speed metal.  The interesting thing is that the first three Cruella recordings feature the same songs, and the same sequencing, but different recordings.  There's a demo from March of 1986 that I'm still looking for, this demo from September of 1986, and the Vengeance Is Mine LP from 1988.

I contacted guitarist, Roger Decarlo, to get some clarification as to the differences between this recording, and the future full length.  He said that this version of the songs was recorded in a cheesy 8 track studio in September of 1986 for a mere $300.  Everything was then recorded again at a professional studio for $3,000 in August of 1987 for the Vengeance Is Mine LP that came out of US Metal Records in February of 1988.

Here is the full Power Metal recording from 1986.  I gave it a slight remaster.

Bile & Demise - Vancouver, WA 1991

A friend gave me a VHS that contained sets from Bile and Demise at a show in Vancouver, WA in early 1991.  The show took place at Vagabonds, which was a record store on 13th St in downtown Vancouver.  There was no date listed on the video, but it's definitely from early 1991.
